C H This is at its core a stupid 2000s movie. Its premise is entirely wacky and random, but I will say that that doesn’t make it bad. Would I ever search for this movie in particular? No. But did I enjoy it by the end? Did I genuinely start to root for Nick? Yes. His character is actually very well done, and the change is gradual. You can see how he never has explicitly bad intentions, he is simply self-obsessed at the beginning. And despite the disingenuous end of the story line with Lola, Nick does slowly turn from the selfish horrible person everyone knows him to be into a good father and man. The arc with Alex was genuinely good, and I thought her actress did a great job. Nick learns what it means to be a good man, and by the end of the movie is committed to this idea because of his love for those around him, which is a good enough ending for me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Ed . Enjoyable if slight film with a maturing but still sober Mel. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Ed R A VERY clever take on the romance we express versus what we truly feel on the inside. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review Jace E I think this movie would be a bit better if Mel Gibson's character wasn't such a huge jerk for the first half of the film. I get that they are trying to show his character growth and evolution, but dang, he is just so unlikable from the jump. While the film does a decent job of showing how overwhelming it would be to hear all of the countless thoughts surrounding him, ultimately I felt that it barely scratched the surface. In trying to be about women empowerment, it kind of did the opposite. I don't think that "What Women Want" is a terrible movie, but it is one that I don't see myself rewatching.

Full of memorable scenes, it truly lives in my heart Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review JAMES H Hilarious: Don't know why it's rated so badly.
